Hello Peoples,

I am exploring on Streaming Log Analysis project. So i used spring boot application to logback implementation with filebeat concept.  
could help withe best support in creating logback.xml and logstack.config to sent logs from Spring boot to logstack

Thanks in advance

Hi Manick,

You can use [beats](https://elastic.co/products/beats) to send logs directly to Elasticsearch without using Logstash, if you don't need any transformations on data.

thanks for the reply!

i would to know the other way instead of using "Beats", because i have to maintain or create a log file in Spring boot Location and in the ELK location also.

Not sure for `logback.xml` but a getting started tutorial for creating `logstash.conf` is [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.6/getting-started-with-logstash.html)
